Take a front seat ride and experience what it takes to make a first ascent on
one of the world’s iconic alpine features in 2011. The film joins top British
alpinists Jon Bracey and Matt Helliker as they honor their late friend Jules
Cartright by following his original vision of making a stunning and formidable
new line on Mt Hunter’s incredible north buttress; The Moonflower.
Climbing the steepest and coldest section of the buttress; marvel at the
dogged determination of the world class climbers as they approach exhaustion
in an effort to complete the line before the increasingly freezing conditions
irrevocably turn against them.
The adventure is filmed by the climbers themselves giving a unique insight
into cutting edge alpinism. Adventure cameraman David Reeves contributes to
the cinematic experience with his stunning mountain timelapeses and ariel
footage. The film is produced by award winner Al Lee and conveys every
frighting, grueling and hilarious moment combined with the poignant beauty of
the Alaskan wilderness.
